iOS 3rd Most Popular Platform after Windows and Mac



093508-ios_linux_andrdoid

iOS has left Linux behind to become the 3rd most popular platform with Internet access. Standing at 1,1%, unsurprisingly, iOS is still losing to Mac OS X with its 5% share and lagging behind the all-encompassing Windows’ 91,3%. Still, for a mobile OS, this is an impressive score, especially considering that Linux’s share is 0,85% while Android’s is just 0,2%.

What Do iPhone and Android Users Eat?



500x_iphonenexusss

Coupons.com has recently conducted quite an unusual survey about iPhone and Android users. The results are definitely unexpected: according to the survey, iPhone users are “feminine-smelling, chicken-eating, entertainment-reading fish owners”, while Android users are “manly-scented, pork-eating, news-reading, bird lovers”. Would be interesting to know which category beef-eaters with no pets fall into? Blackberry, maybe?
